I rented "whiteboyz" the night before last. The plot revolves around a
group
of, well, white boys, in Iowa who are eternally "keeping it real" and
"living
and dieing hip hop" except for that they're ignorant idiots. Hoch plays
the
main character Flip Dogg. It's a pretty good movie. Very funny in it's
depiction of "white homies" and with a (somewhat over-simplified)
message. It's
got great cameos from Snoop Dogg, Slick Rick, Doug E. Fresh, Dead Prez,
etc...
And, my hero Bonz Malone has a pretty substantial part.
I don't know what's up w/ that corncob on his head though...
peace/rob
